Key Factors Accelerating Growth in Wind Turbine Inspection Drones
Leading companies in this space are heavily investing in AI-driven innovations to enhance drone inspection capabilities. For example, the AQUADA-GO project launched by RWE AG in October 2023 integrates drone technology with artificial intelligence to fully automate offshore wind turbine blade inspections. This initiative, developed in collaboration with DTU Wind and Energy Systems and Quali Dron, represents a major leap forward in inspection efficiency and safety.
The technology employs algorithms to detect surface damage and subsurface fractures on turbine blades, using thermal cameras to scan beneath the blade surface. The fully automated process aims to reduce turbine downtime, eliminate the need for technician ships offshore, and support greener energy production by streamlining maintenance operations.
